<p>Traditionally, a bad harvest is always blamed on insufficient sacrifices (and thus inadequate appeasement of the deity) by the tribe.</p>

<p>Yeah, Matthew, those mouthings of Huckabee and his ilk disgusted me too.</p>
<p>My outrage has settled down and I can now cogitate.</p>
<p>Let's see, atheists accept that we are descended from cyanobacteria, aka pond scum. Okay, ascended if you insist.</p>
<p>Do you reckon the DNA of such as Huckabee has a preponderance of pond scum genes?</p>

<p>I started a serious study of the First Amendment soon after I became a political activist in my early 40s, when my mouthings needed the Amendment's protection. That was 40 years ago and I haven't stopped studying it. The US Supreme Court (SCOTUS) holds that the Amendment gives varying levels of protection: the most to political speech, and lesser amounts to commercial speech (substantial truth required) and sexual speech (most four-letter words protected but obscenity not protected). SCOTUS' views have evolved much since, shortly after WW2, it ruled that movies have First Amendment protection.</p>
<p>Atheists hear all kinds of stuff from believers and it desensitizes us. I wouldn't say these Huckabee mouthings are religious speech, though he will probably claim they are. They might pass as commercial speech, as he probably intends them to raise money for his racket.</p>
<p>That said, many people have a high regard for ministers and a low regard for used car salesmen. Huckabee and his ilk are setting a new low. They'll say anything for a few bucks from their followers.</p>
<p>I've heard people in the helping professions say we act in ways that will bring the regard of others to about the level of our regard for ourselves. It seems reasonable to say that Huckabee and his ilk have a very low self-regard.</p>

<p><em><br/></em>That is exactly what they are saying. Their god will massacre your children if they don't get their way. Glad you called them out on it.</p>

<p>It's possible I'm a bit sensitized to this due to the company I've been keeping as of late. It does seem this has come up far more than during earlier domestic atrocities.</p>
<p>Does anyone suspect this is a concerted effort to herd the sheeple? It feels as if it is connected to the war on christmas non-event.</p>
<p>I suppose it could just be natural collective bleating.</p>

<p>First of all, very well said and I couldn't agree with you more.</p>

<p>Sadly Huck isn't the only piece of shit spouting this nonsense and saying we need god in schools. James Dobson of the group Fcus on Family (who I believe has been designated a hate group by the Southern Poverty Law Center) blames gays and abortion for this. Ridiculous.…</p>

<p>Really, just fuck Dobson, Huckabee, and the other asshats that feel the need to spread hate and fear amongst the frightened and feeble minded.</p>

<p>Well said. They know that the world will never be a homogenous Christian entity, particularly not their kind, so they feel justified in making these shameless pitches at the times when the shock value will create the most publicity. Whether you are religious or nonreligious, serious mental problems will dictate these situations if they are not identified and treated properly. Coddling your obviously disturbed child rather than having him diagnosed and treated is what started this. …</p>
